Hands-on with Tekken 6

OK, this isn’t the most classic match-up. It’s not Paul Phoenix vs. Marshall Law or Kazuya vs. Heihachi. I’m playing as one of the new characters, Bob, a Rufus-looking fighter, against Lili.

At the start of the match, we trade blows back and forth, and I lose a round. I’m not used to Tekken as much as I am to Street Fighter IV. There is no character I play obsessively because there’s far to many to count.

In Tekken 6 alone, there’s going to be 40 characters. (That’s a record for the series) It’s enough to start eight basketball squads (if you don’t count bench players). In the middle of the second round, I remembered that you can move in and out of the background and this gives me and advantage. I just mash buttons and pull of what looks like Bob’s version of a Messiah Kick.

Bob isn’t so bad. He moves like a skinny guy trapped in a fat man’s body. From what I played, the game engine hasn’t change drastically. There’s a few tweaks here and there. The environment again has an impact on the gameplay. But now, players can now pummel rivals through walls or glass floors. They can even start up a combo, fall 40 feet and continue the same combo like it was nothing, according to In Joon Hwang, the brand manager.

This sort of thing has been done before in games like Dead or Alive. Other than the combo part, I’m not sure how Tekken 6 will differentiate itself with its 16 stages.

More often, Hwang was touting the the game’s “extremely robust customization mode.” This time around, the team at NamcoBandai is taking what you can do with your fighter a step beyond what you’d expect.

Of course, you can change your personalized characters looks and give him or her little accessories on the arm or waist. But on top of that, you’ll be able to create a whole bunch of hair styles, cover their bodies in tattoos and change minute features on their face.

In this make-your-own hero mode, you start off with a fighting-style template and then you can modify your character however you want and take him or her online. If I could fix one thing on Bob right now, I’d probably change his costume. He has an alternate set of clothes that makes him look like Bob’s Big Boy or a really fat version of Mario.
One feature that threw me off during my conversation with Hwang was that the team was allowing players to use weapons in Tekken 6. Wha? If Tekken had weapons wouldn’t that make it SoulCalibur? But apparently, these weapons or more like an accessory on steroids. You can have a shotgun or a kunai. They let you deal a little more damage in some cases, but mostly, they’re there for visuals and “attitude.” The way he described it, I wonder if they’re going to have a fatality-ish role.

I eventually won the match by the way. Mashing buttons apparently works sometimes. In the end, I had a good time with Tekken 6. I’m looking forward to the online play and beating other folks up when the game is released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.
